After a trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, the defendant was found guilty of causing Mr Jozwik's death.

Arkadiusz Jozwik died on August 27 last year

Speaking shortly after the verdict, Detective Chief Inspector Martin Pasmore of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "This has been a complex and difficult investigation and my thoughts very much remain with Mr Jozwik's family, who have lost a dearly loved son and brother in the most tragic of circumstances.

"While nothing will ever bring Mr Jozwik back, now the court proceedings are over, I hope his family can somehow start to rebuild their lives.

"Essex Police, working in conjunction with the Crown Prosecution Service, has carried out a huge amount of work into trying to establish the course of events that led to Mr Jozwik's death and to find the truth of what happened.

"My team has taken more than 150 witness statements, spoken to more than 300 people during inquiries and reviewed more than 100 hours of CCTV footage.

"More than 30 police officers and staff have been involved in the investigation and committed more than 1,200 additional hours.
